Wack 100 Speaks On Alleged Informants That Contributed To Lil Durk’s Arrest

by

The hip-hop media world continues to react to – and speculate about – the federal arrest of Lil Durk for alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy. Most recently, Wack 100 and DJ Vlad hopped on VladTV for yet another interview, and they discussed this matter and their many moving parts. We won’t discuss much of the details around their conversation given their unfounded allegations and presumptions, but if you’re interested in hearing them beyond this summary, check the interview clip out for yourself down below. Basically, Wack connected alleged dots between alleged informants in OTF and how multiple associates’ statements led to this alleged murder-for-hire.

For those unaware, there are rumors circulating from alleged court documents that claim that there was an informant within OTF that provided information to the federal government over the course of two years. This individual reportedly served roughly 12 years in prison and then got out. While these reports cite court documents, more could still emerge that would prove or disprove this statement. Either way, federal authorities arrested five other alleged OTF members who allegedly tried to carry out a hit on Quando Rondo with funds from Lil Durk, per prosecutors’ accusations.

Wack 100 Speaks On Lil Durk

This news comes as fans are looking back at Lil Durk’s past and seeing conversations about street life under a different context. However, it’s important to note that we still haven’t seen a trial, so these are all allegations at the end of the day. For example, social media brought up an old clip of Wallo advising the Chicago rapper to forgive his loved ones’ killers and “make it out” of his situation. Fans connected this to how the alleged hit on Quando Rondo was supposedly in retaliation for the murder of King Von.

A 2022 shooting in Quando Rondo’s vicinity took the life of his cousin Lul Pab, and that is the murder that federal authorities are now investigating concerning Lil Durk. Recently, Rondo seemed to address Durk’s arrest via Instagram, although he did not mention him by name. It was a call to promote forgiveness and move past street conflicts that have caused so much pain and suffering.

Keefe D Allegedly Went Undercover In Attempt To Prove Diddy Was Part of 2Pac Murder

by

Keefe D allegedly served as a police informant for years after being caught “trafficking a large amount of drugs,” according to new court documents cited by The Jasmine Brand. In doing so, he allegedly attempted to claim Diddy offered him $1 million in exchange for Tupac’s murder. He says the money was paid out to Eric “Zip” Martin. 

In the documents, the prosecution claims Keefe flew out the New York City to discuss the conspiracy to kill the legendary rapper. At the time, he met with Zip while acting in an “undercover capacity.” “Mr. Martin [Zip] greeted Defendant excitedly and they had a social conversation,” the court papers claim. “Mr. Martin indicated he was out of the business but directed him to conduct his drug activities with the nephew. Thereafter, Defendant and Mr. Martin socialized in Mr. Martin’s restaurant for several hours.”

The update comes as Keefe continues his attempts to get out of jail on bail ahead of his upcoming trial. After Judge Carli Kierny initially blocked his attempts at paying bail, Keefe’s attorney, Carl Arnold filed for a reconsideration. “Judge Kierny does not at this time have the legal authority to prevent Mr. Davis from being paid any proceeds deriving from his story related to his life or any connection he allegedly has with the murder of Mr. Shakur,” Arnold wrote in that motion, according to Las Vegas Review-Journal. Kierny had shot down the move out of concerns regarding where the money came from.

Keefe’s next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, July 23. Be on the lookout for further updates on Keefe D and his trial regarding the death of 2Pac on HotNewHipHop.

DJ Akademiks Accuses Yung Miami Of Snitching On Diddy Following Home Raid

by

Yung Miami is someone who is currently trending on social media thanks to the Diddy home raids that occurred on Monday afternoon. Overall, this is due to the fact that Miami was in a relationship with the mogul. Moreover, the current state of their relationship has been pretty ambiguous. Considering the allegations surrounding Diddy, fans have been curious about how she is handling all of this. However, she has mostly remained silent, apart from a few cryptic tweets here and there.

That said, Monday’s home raids were easily the biggest development in the Diddy saga since Cassie filed her lawsuit against him. Consequently, fans were waiting for anyone associated with Diddy to speak out. Of course, one person fans had their eyes on was Yung Miami. Well, she ended up offering some cheeky tweets as one fan asked her “where are you?” This subsequently led to Miami saying “right here what’s up?” as if nothing was happening. DJ Akademiks saw this tweet, and promptly accused the City Girls artist of potentially being an informant.

Martell Wiley AKA Trenches News Speaks On FBG Duck’s Murder Case

Reportedly, after FBG Duck’s 2020 death, Wiley contacted the Chicago Police Department and offered to help them with the case. According to FBI Special Agent Kevin Doyle, he provided “background information” and reviewed “surveillance footage” and “social media postings.” He’s sure to face plenty of scrutiny for his decision to cooperate with authorities, but Wiley was set on seeking justice for the late rapper.

FBG Duck Murder Case: FBI Tells Jurors That A YouTuber Was Paid $25K To Be An Informant

by

Some pieces are beginning to fall into place for the murder case of FBG Duck. Back in October jury duty was underway, as 150 people were whittled down to just 12. The tragic event that took place three years ago is finally starting to see some more progress toward a trial. Hopefully, the proper punishment for the six alleged gang members who have been charged with the murder will be handed down. They were reportedly members of a rival gang. Prosecutors and FBG’s mother claim that they publicly took credit for the murder afterward.

With that part in motion, we now have more information from HipHopDX. According to them, an FBI Agent has recently informed the jurors that a paid informant has been assisting with the case. The name of that person is Martell Wiley and he runs a YouTube channel called Trenches News. In addition, the Chicago Sun-Times says he will be testifying this week.

Martell Wiley Got A Lot Of Money To Help

FBI Special Agent Kevin Doyle said that Wiley got over 15 installments of nearly $25,000. Additionally, his work with authorities officially began in 2021. However, the YouTuber did contact the Chicago Police Department one day after FBG’s murder to offer his help. Doyle mentioned that “he would provide background information. He reviewed surveillance footage [and] reviewed social media postings.” Wiley is sure to be under fire for breaking the street codes of not snitching. But, he wants to help bring justice to Duck. Wiley said, “They subpoenaed me to court. I’ve gotta come here and tell them, man,” he said in a video on his channel. “It ain’t no more discrepancies. I’m here. Long live [FBG Duck, aka] Carlton.”

What are your initial thoughts on this latest development with the FBG Duck murder case? Do you think things are going to rapidly escalate in court after Martell Wiley broke the code? Will this extra information help bring justice to FBG Duck’s family? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around FBG Duck.

Boosie Badazz Comments On Pras Being An Informant

by

San Diego police took rapper Boosie Badazz into custody over the weekend and charged him with four gun-related offenses. Boosie was reportedly filming a music video with local rapper Bully Three. The two had previously collaborated on a song titled “How You Wanna Play It?”. After being released on bond, Boosie performed in San Diego and told fans to chant “f*ck San Diego police.” He then proceeded to shout into the microphone, “Suck my d*ck, you b*tches.”

This isn’t the first time Boosie has had a run-in with the law. Last year, he was pulled over for window tints and a concealed tag. A search of his car yielded a large bag of weed. Boosie expressed frustration with the police officers, saying, “I can’t keep going through this though, bro… I just can’t, bro… It’s harassment. It’s every day. I moved to the country to fucking live, bro. I did six years on my back.” However, at least Boosie can be thankful he hasn’t gotten into nearly as much trouble as Pras Michel has.

Boosie: “The Music Industry Is Full Of Rats”

In a new segment from his extended interview with VladTV, Boosie Badazz was asked about Pras Michel of The Fugees. The MC was just ruled guilty in a number of extremely serious conspiracy charges. The biggest allegation against Pras is that he is a government informant. Boosie wasn’t fully aware of the case, but he had some things to say about rats in the industry. “It’s a worldwide movement, bro. The music industry is full of [rats]. There are more rats in the music industry than in the streets,” Boosie said. “I think they don’t wanna lose. You know? They don’t wanna lose this lifestyle. That’s why they develop into rats.”

Luckily for Boosie, life seems to be taking a turn for the more positive recently. His arrest this past weekend aside, he recently announced that he was cancer-free. He also adopted an adorable pet duckling that he has dubbed “Little Boosie.” What do you think of Boosie’s thoughts on Pras and rats in the industry? Let us know in the comments!

Pras Roasted For Being An FBI Informant

by

Pras is getting a lot of flack and jokes online after he admitted that he was an FBI informant. Moreover, the revelation relates to his criminal conspiracy case, where he stood accused of witness tampering and failing to register as an agent of China, as well. According to Rolling Stone, the Fugees MC testified in his own federal trial. During that, he admitted to several meetings with FBI agents about China potentially extraditing a dissident. “Pras is testifying in his own defense,” reported Dan Friedman relayed on Twitter. “Told the judge: “After consulting with my attorneys and the universe, I decided that I will testify.”

Furthermore, this case also saw another famous person testify, but this time against Pras, and it was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. While he’s not involved in this case at all, he detailed his relationships with Pras and with Malaysian businessman Jho Low. For those unaware, he’s the person that the rapper allegedly conspired with to embezzle money from the Malaysian government and to secretly fund Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign. What’s more is that the “Zealots” artist was apparently the middle man for many of these operations.

Pras Admits To Being An FBI Informant

Specifically, the court accused him of helping Low put pressure on White House and justice officials that tracked his fraud scheme. In addition, Pras allegedly helped advocate for the Chinese government “securing the return” of a dissident living in the U.S. that developed a relationship with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon. While denying his role as an agent of China, he clarified his involvement. “I took it upon myself to report because I thought the FBI should know,” he expressed during his testimony.

After this admission circled online, with the added fact that he reportedly accepted $100 million to engage in these activities, fans reacted with shock and ridicule on social media. Pras faces 22 years in prison if convicted, and the jury deliberated the case starting Monday (April 24). Before the trial, he spoke to Rolling Stone and maintained his innocence. “What benefit would I get trying to break laws?” he told the publication. “It’s not worth it to me. I’m like a pariah now. I’ve got friends who won’t talk to me because they think there’s a satellite in orbit listening to them.” Check out reactions to Pras, the FBI informant, down below and return to HNHH for the latest on the Fugees member.
